No Room | The Scribe Of Worlds

Some more Christmas thoughts from Chris Peters, with a few additional thoughts from myself.

Two simple words. Almost a footnote about the Bethlehem hotel industry.

Luke 2:7 “…there was no room for them at the lodging place.” HSCB

When Jesus came, it looked like there was no room

…In the Inn

…In the Jewish Leaders

…In the Roman Empire

…In Judea

…In Israel

…In History

…for the Messiah

…for the King of Kings

…for Him to sleep

…for His Kingdom

…in society

Today it feels like there is no room for Jesus

…in our society

…in our laws

…in our justice

…in our day to day life

…in our hearts from time to time

…in our Christmas busyness

We can try to fault the innkeeper or the residents for not making space

We can say that Jesus deserved a space that was not full of straw and animals

But if the Lord eternal decided to enter our world in the shadows of a cave

Far from the comforts he could have had

Then there could not be a more perfect place

In the same way, we act as though, because our lives are filled with shadows and grime

We can’t be right for Him

But if the Son of God can be born in a stable

If the glory of God can descend upon a Shepherd’s hill

Then He can surely come to you

So this Christmas

Will you make room for Jesus?
